Genkai Dokushin Joshi (26) Gohan - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

Insanely cringey "TL", on par with stuff from localization. I guess anything goes on this site now huh?

I might as well try my hand at uploading chapters and I'll just copy paste random wikipedia dissertations on each page.

If you don't like it, you can just, like, not read it.

I never knew that they had Lidl in Japan.

Oh no, not a cute, thicc fake-depressed damsel in distress

Whoever shall help her? (~3 billion potential candidates)

If an individual is unmotivated, avoids social interaction, lazy, and depressed, then a relationship is hardly going to fix anything.

Aw shit, it's girlfailure may

She's a massive burn out. There's going to be a need of a little more than a little effort. Kids in these threads don't realize how hard it can be.

 

[Belkin]

I'm the only one who can fix her...

😂

A doctor's life isn't much better though, it's mostly just working, sleeping, and escapism. Don't really have time or energy for anything else.

TIL that im not a software dev, but a doctor.

LIDL

don't do this man, localisation is for complex cultural stuff that have a close parallel (like if there was some hypothetical traditional "love day" or "spouse appreciation day" or something, you localise it to valentines).

a supermarket chain is neither complex nor culturally unique. just give us the actual name and a tl note, otherwise you're just going down the "onigiri -> jelly donut" route - and trust me, you don't want to go there.

Pretty sure it was conbini, which is convenience store.
I sort of enjoy joke translations like this, but I grew up with dattebayo and gg and think it's a bit funny. People take this stuff way too seriously, it's just Chinese comics.

Or, you know, people could upload stuff that says what it's supposed to say, and if it's so unbearably painful for them not to paste memespeak into the dialogue they can do so in bonus pages at the end. You know, like every other respectable scanlator group does? Truly horrifying.

She got no motion she broke as hell

Scanlation is serious business. No fun allowed.

It must be rough having poor reading comprehension, is that perhaps why you enjoy this stuff so much?

I'm a weird guy that thinks that fun things are fun. I'm not sure how it's for autistic people like you.

Just kinda weird because I even said they can have their fun at the end, just not replacing things in the actual meat of the story. I already said other scanlators do this and that I have no problem with it. The interpretations for this chapter are often questionable, but shoehorning in stuff that literally is not there like this? Come on now, son, have at least an ounce of integrity.

 

[fgsfdss]

rub a dub dub, thanks for the tl

 

[popo53414]

nice tids

 

[Ritsuaka]

Ah yes that meme

 

[jackRus454]

Horrible "translation" full of 4chan cancer, including racist memes and completely made up bullshit. Didn't know mangadex was allowing rewrites.

 

[Eighty-six]

Came for the cute tired tomboy in sports bra in the cover.

Tomboy in the cover?

...I'm analyzing it as hard as I can, I promise, but I don't know what you're talking about.

Did I find this entry after some chapter swap-out?

I read SSSSS's scanlations as provocations for people to pick up manga to scanlate... at least here, when he's the first person scanlating.

I may also not be affected as much as I may have been with mistranslations of other series because there's not much to this one, as it stands. I'm not justifying mistranslation (I'm pretty anal about this, too, and I think the English localization scene is far too sordid for a gaggle of people whose only job is to translate Japanese phrases into their English equivalent), but rather my reaction to this particular one.
